For this question, let the r0 (x-intercept) = 3.80A, if r = 3.70A wouldn't the potential energy becomes positive based on the graph?

V(r)=4{(rr0)12(rr0)6} Two atoms are separated by a distance of 3.80A, which coincides with the ro value of their LennardJones potential. If their separation distance is decreased to 3.70A, does the intermolecular potential between the molecules become more negative or more positive? Justify your
